in the room.
Jian Yuerong hurriedly helped him put on his official uniform.
Cao An looked solemn and said outside: "Arhat!"
"Mr. Lang..."
The latter opened the door and came in.
Cao An was tying his buttons and ordered: "Go and notify Wang Hu immediately! Ask him to withdraw all his men and settle them in the Chamber of Commerce for the time being!"
"yes!"
Arhat ran away.
"return!"
Cao An stumbled forward with his shoes in his pocket.
Jian Yuerong hurriedly hugged him, her soft body easing the danger.
"Tell the brothers under my command not to do anything for these two days! Just stay in the Chamber of Commerce! The loan business will be suspended for a while and let them calm down!"
Cao An supported Jian Yuerong's waist and put on her shoes.
He said coldly: "At this time, the city will probably be in chaos! If that blind man offends the government, Liu Weizhen will dare to kill someone!"
"Yes, the villain must restrain them!"
Arhat also knew that the situation was serious, so he made arrangements with a cold face.
outside the door.
Sister Kou San's voice came: "Mr. Cao Lang, please leave now!"
After such a big incident, she didn't dare to stay outside for a long time.
"Wait a moment!"
Cao An opened the door and came out.
Jian Yuerong said "Hey" and stumbled behind, saying angrily: "Mr. Lang, please slow down, your pants... you haven't put them up yet."
Seeing this, Third Sister Kou was stunned for a moment...
Then a trace of undetectable disappointment flashed in his eyes.
It seems that the rumors are true.
Cao An has long regarded Jian Yuerong as the woman in his house, and even if he doesn't marry her in the future, he will definitely take her as his concubine.
Cao An ignored her strangeness and shouted downstairs.
"Old Chen, come up here!"
The accountant trotted up to state: "Mr. Lang, please give me your orders."
He was also the accountant of Prince Chu's Mansion, but was later forced to give it to Cao An by Zhao Yunsheng.
After all, when it comes to business matters, accounts are the most important and must not be careless.
"You take two thousand guan from the account and give it to Mrs. Kou."
Cao An then turned around and looked at Sister Kou: "I always keep my word. If you give this money to Cui Qiao, he will naturally know what to do."
"The slave family..."
Sister Kou San was stunned on the spot.
"I can't get the approval from the court yet, and the Chu Palace is not omnipotent. Once some favors are owed, they cannot be repaid!"
Cao An lost his joking look before and said seriously: "But don't worry, Cao will never let his friends down! Madam Kou has done a great job in Wanyue Tower! I will definitely take care of this for you!"
Sister Kou San was slightly moved.
There was more tenderness in her bright eyes, and she slowly said, "Thank you, sir."
"I thought you couldn't be gentle."
Cao An suddenly smiled and joked: "This is great. Women should be more gentle. Don't keep that cold face all day long, it will make you old."
"..."
This person is really good, so I can't give him half a good face.
…
All the way into the palace.
The Queen Mother and the Prime Ministers are all there.
The little emperor was also sitting next to him, but he looked a little dull and couldn't even get a word in. He could only listen to the conversation between my mother and the other ministers.
How can one be so frustrated!
This is probably the kind of wooden statue mentioned in the book, right?
Cao An smiled inwardly.
The little emperor has not yet fully fledged his wings, so he may not be able to stand up in a short time.
But it’s good to have Liu E here.
The Song Dynasty should have someone who can calm down the situation, so that both internal and external parties can be more peaceful, so that those who are young will not dare to covet him.
If power is delegated to Zhao Zhen at this moment...
Then this Song Dynasty will probably be finished.
It’s not that he looks down on little Zhao Zhen, it’s just that the child’s abilities are limited!
The Song Dynasty seems peaceful at present, but internal and external worries are surging...
In the court, various forces are competing!
A group of new factions led by Lu Yijian wanted to nail Liu E to the pillar of shame for gaining power.
And the Queen Mother's party is using every possible means to seize power.
Outside, although the Liao people have experienced a lot of peace in recent years, their wolfish ambitions have never diminished for a day! It was only a matter of time before we went south to herd horses.
Not to mention that there are also small countries such as Xixia, Jiaozhi, Tubo, and Dali, which are also eyeing...
In this situation, can Zhao Zhen be able to suppress it?
"Cao An."
Liu E looked over.
But in terms of character, the little emperor is still trustworthy.
I just don’t know what he will be like in the future?
"Cao An!"
Liu E's face turned cold for a moment.
Cao An still lowered his head, echoing in his inner world, unable to extricate himself...
Will he become an unprecedented example of benevolence as written in the history books, or...
The reputation of benevolence and righteousness is just a pretense, but in fact he is also a sinister person?
"Cao An!"
Chief Assistant Zhang Zhibai also turned around and glared at him.
Cao An remained unmoved and thought to himself: If that happens, he must be careful.
just in case……
"Cao An!"
Snapped!
Lu Yijian slapped him angrily.
"hiss!!!"
Cao An staggered when he was slapped, turned around and raised his fist.
"Why, you still want to fight with me?"
Lu Yijian was obviously shocked and shouted angrily: "Shuzi! Are you deaf when the Queen Mother calls you?! Don't you think that only Fan Zhongyan can whip you?"
As he said that, Lao Lu raised his palm again.
He felt that bringing Cao An into the court would be a big stain on his career as prime minister!
This grandson deserves a beating.
How dare you desert in front of the Queen Mother and Her Majesty? Are ten heads enough to chop off?
"minister……"
Cao An finally reacted.
He subconsciously shrank his neck, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he said with a sad look on his face: "I just lost my temper, please punish me, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother!"
"Why are you losing your temper?"
Zhang Zhizhi stared at him with his white beard and hair spraying.
Boy, if you don’t tell me why you came here today, I will definitely do it to you!
"Refugees enter the city and scream everywhere!"
Cao An slowly raised his head, with tears flashing in his bright eyes: "I was worried about those people, so I lost my sense of proportion... Alas, I am guilty!"
"……you."
Zhang Zhibai was a little confused and opened his mouth several times before saying: "The refugees are true, but where did the 'waiting in the field' come from? Don't exaggerate!"
"Yes, I am a young official, so it is inevitable that I will use inappropriate words."
"That's all, be more serious!"
Zhang Zhibai felt that he was being harsh, and his voice slowed down: "Being able to worry about the people shows that you have good intentions. But this is above the Golden Palace, don't do it again!"
"Yes, please keep this in mind!"
Cao An obediently lowered his head, his face full of embarrassment.
The more he is like this, the more real it feels...
The two of them are just sixteen-year-old boys. Once thrown into the court, it is impossible to say that they can't make mistakes.
Liu E also softened her expression and said calmly: "Since you are worried about the people, I will naturally not criticize you harshly. So...then tell me how to deal with this disaster?"
This is a test question!
The Queen Mother thought you were a good guy, so she gave you a chance.
If you can answer well, your future will be stable.
In terms of recruiting talents, Liu E is remarkable. Even if he is as stubborn as Yan Shu and makes trouble for himself all day long, Liu E still does not give up on him.
As long as you have the ability, I can bear it.
But you can't just add to the trouble, but actually be a fool, otherwise it will be a matter of time before you get out.
